I'm completely off the pace with this. I'm just listening to the album for the first time now. I love them completely.

i have it on good authority that the blonde, cassie ramone i think, isn't courteous on the dance floor and will dance right up on you without any warning, but it's second hand so i can't say for sure

She also isn't courteous if she's standing against a pool railing and you're on the other side, on the receiving end of her swaying handbag. Shit was hilarious. I like Vivian Girls quite a bit, but the one time I saw them live was, well, at McCarren Park Pool, a venue too spacious to suit them.

I've not read Hat and Beard's comment but the 'hipster' aspect of the band. It's something I'm trying to disregard. All I can do is listen to the album and think that, hipsters or not, they've produced something wonderful which, regardless of what the motives behind it might be, is enough in itself. I get a feeling that the more I know about them the less enthusiastic I'll be, so I'm trying not to read up on them too much. |

Eh? Motives? Hipsters? Now I am confused. Oh well.

I think it stems from the whole cooler-than-thou Brooklyn thing. I don't know if that's exactly the case with the Vivian Girls but I wouldn't be surprised if they're being dismissed by a number of people in the same way that a band that appeared fully formed out of somewhere like Hoxton, or Mitte might also be. I'm not saying they should be, just that I expect they are.

Me neither. Either way. They're making me play my favourite records again and that can be nothing but a good thing. From my first listen to "Such a Joke" it was like, ahh yes, this is what I like. I'd almost forgotten. If it turns out they're all runners for Vice magazine, then so be it.

I never bothered reading about who they are much, apart from some stuff on blogs and forums here and there, not because I'd be let down by what they say, simply because that's the way it turned out. I didn't even think there would be so much fuss about them, to be honest. There is, and that's fine, they aren't the greatest band, I just happen to really like the record and enjoyed their set live. They might even disappear amid all the hype in about a year, so what?

I completely agree. Whatever their 'story' might be they've created a truly great album which is more than a vast majority of arguably more 'credible' bands can claim. Whether they go on to produce anything remotely as good in the future is largely besides the point - for me at least. I'm just pissed that I never got to see them live last month. They're one of the very few bands right now I'd bother leaving the house for - and for that fact alone I'm extremely glad they exist. |

they've been dismissed by a lot of hipsters in brooklyn because they're "full of hype and too big now." it's pretty lame. |
